Intentional by Mozilla. the bug was that the version in 9.0 didn't
default to realplayer if you had it installed. So you aren't really
seeing a bug but rather a fix. Long after rpm existed in our world
RealPlayer switched to a 3 letter extension from a 2 letter one (windows
conformity here) so .rm became xxx.rpm (real player media) since
there was no "copyright" on this extension... nor is there possible to
be one. It's not a legal problem. But rather than get into that
discussion. The solution has been since about RH 4.2 to right click and
chose save as. (I do it by such a habit I didn't even notice I still
was.)

Yes, I know that. But you could click on an RPM in Mdk 9.0, and it just downloaded. In
9.1 this is no longer possible, is this a bug ? Or was it done intentional.

I have to.

I just looked at the site with my current Firebird (Realplayer plugin
installed).
Apart from the fact that most of the files and/or directories seem to
have been removed or placed elsewhere ("URL not found"), the ones I
found download good.
You can't click on the rpm link because that would start the Realplayer.
Use the right click and choose "Save link to..." in the context menue.
